Salvi Lighting's Solar Intelligent Lighting (S.I.L.) is part of the #1000 solutions to change the world.

Solar Intelligent Lighting (S.I.L.), an autonomous solar luminaire with a smart cities and lighting management system, designed by Salvi Lighting, was awarded the "Solar Impulse Efficient Solution" Label after an evaluation by independent external experts and based on verified standards. It therefore joins the #1000solutions challenge, an initiative of the Solar Impulse Foundation to select solutions that meet high standards in cost-effectiveness and sustainability and present them to decision-makers to accelerate their implementation.

Nowadays the electrical network is easily accessible in all our cities with large infrastructures; but when we refer to roads with difficult geographical conditions or interurban roads we find less electrical network infrastructures or even none at all. This is one of the reasons why Salvi Lighting's solution helps in the installation of lighting and, therefore, increase the safety of the stretches in a sustainable way.

Solar Intelligent Lighting (S.I.L.), as a solar LED lighting solution, not only has advantages in its installation but also in consumption and the amount of CO₂ generated. It is a self-powered solar LED lighting solution; its solar panel feeds a battery that allows short charging cycles, increasing its durability and efficiency.

The same performance can be obtained over the years. The S.I.L. solution also integrates the Smartec® remote management system, its system for smart cities and lighting management, which provides battery status, charging and discharging cycles, and can create dimming profiles for different time slots for more efficient energy use.

Salvi's solar technology is based on a prior study of the location, thanks to the PHOTOVOLTAIC GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM of the European Commission and the specific characteristics of each project; Salvi's online luminaire configurator allows you to see in a few clicks what would be the most efficient basic configuration for the location of the project.

The Solar Impulse Foundation was born from the initiative of Bertrand Picard and Boschberg in 2016. As the first people to fly around the world in a solar-powered aeroplane to demonstrate that a sustainable world is possible through the use of clean technologies. It was a success not only in the history of aviation but also in the history of energy.

From there, Picard & Boschberg have dedicated themselves to finding and promoting sustainable and cost-effective products and services with their "1000 Clean and Cost-Effective Solutions" initiative. The Foundation is helping decision-makers in business and government to achieve their environmental goals and adopt more ambitious energy policies, which are necessary to bring these solutions to market. One way to further build on the success of the world's first solar-powered flight.

To receive the label "Solar Impulse Efficient Solution", Solar Intelligent Lighting (S.I.L.) was thoroughly evaluated by a group of independent experts according to 5 criteria covering the three main topics of Feasibility, Environment and Cost-Effectiveness. Whose criteria are based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, being the blueprint to achieve a sustainable future for all by 2030. Solar Impulse focuses its solutions on 5 of these 17 objectives, with which it classifies and evaluates all the solutions presented to form part of its #1000 efficient solutions. Solutions that Bertrand Piccard, President of the Solar Impulse Foundation, will present to decision-makers in business and government. The aim of this initiative is to encourage the adoption of more ambitious environmental targets and to accelerate the implementation of these solutions on a large scale.

Salvi's solution has been selected because it is closely aligned with the "Solar Impulse" strategy. It is a great satisfaction, says Salvi, to have a solution among the 1,000 selected to change the world. A support in its strategy to work in line with the sustainable development goals of the United Nations and a demand to continue on this path with all our energy, to benefit the next generations.
